The  Doom  of  London 

Fred  M.  WHITE  (1859  -  1935) 

Here  are  six  stories,  each  one  describing  a  disaster  afflicting 
London,  that  were  popularly  serialized  during  1903-1904  in 
Pearson’s  Magazine.  The  tales  depict  (1)  a  deep  freeze  and 
unprecedented  snowfall;  (2)  a  heavy,  blinding,  paralyzing  blanket  of 
fog;  (3)  a  widespread  killer  virus;  (4)  a  fraudulent  scheme  causing 
financial  panic;  (5)  a  minor  electrical  accident  in  a  tunnel  that  spirals 
into  catastrophe;  and  (6)  most  of  the  city’s  water  supply,  reportedly 
contaminated  with  deadly  bubonic  bacillus,  puts  the  population  in 
great  fear  of  plague.  Is  the  word  “doom”  in  the  book's  title  accurate, 
or  is  it  just  hyperbole?  (Lee  Smalley)
